The power button simply refuses to turn the computer on anymore. I just have to restart it one more time to move the settings over to a different computer. Apple has no online manual for this model of PowerBook.

Anybody know where they hid the reset button on this one? It's nowhere on the outside of the case.

I've tried all the normal steps, removing the battery, etc. All I have to do is boot it one more time.

Thanks for any help!

Well, it providentially started up ... one more time ... and the data are all transfered to the MacBook.

But I'm still curious. Where's the reset button on the 1.25 gHz G4 PowerBook - and why doesn't Apple have documentation for this model on their support site?

For some models is placed in the motherboard, follow this Apple article.

You can find related info and the product manuals here.
